In amateur radio we call our absent friends, 'silent keys'.

Posted by Nigel Johnson (Friend) On Tuesday, November 14, 2017I am so sad to hear of Bill's death. Our friendship started way back in the late seventies as our amateur radio club struggled with a project to improve FM repeaters and inter-city linking. He was the person who brought us all together to get the project finished. We had been floundering for years but he showed us his value as a true project manager.

The system whose design project he led lasted for over thirty years, and has only recently been replaced by a commercial off-the-shelf system.

So Sorry
